In reality, it is the right approach as you can now link code generated 
by Apple's
compiler and the FSF compiler which you could not do always before.  
Changing libiberty
to be bootstrap able will not fix that problem, just the bootstrap 
problem.
Also technically the current patch in Apple's compiler is wrong as the 
functions are
private extern and only are included in the shared library so they are 
not exported to
C++ code so C++ code now will not link with Apple's 3.5 based compiler.
